I ordered some of this, so can anyone tell me if I can use it in a patch test first, please? The store didn't have any of the other kind. Thanks

This product is to be taken orally. I would use maybe only a drop to begin with. BTW, I cannot detect the taste of this in coffee. For a skin test to see if you are allergic, I would scratch my arm and put a drop of the medication on the scratched area. Maybe put a gauze pad soaked with the solution directly onto the scratched skin and adhere with tape for a length of time.

I bought the vitamin c and the hylauronic acid. I noticed my skin looked different after only a few days. I am really impressed. I have also ordered the 20 percent salicylic peel. I read one review that said her skin peeled. I have used it twice in a 7 day period and have had no sensitivity.

This is a good one. Also like MT brand. I don't buy the cheap ones, like below $20 simply b/c I don't want to take a chance on problems. How I clean mine: soak your roller w a denture tablet after use, in a plastic cup so you don't damage the needles;let air dry a couple days; cover it when completely dry, then 30 min in 70% alcohol before you use it the next time. Follow their directions for cleaning, but this is how I do it based on research on derma rollers. I derma roll regularly and it makes a difference, skin texture is finer, pores get smaller, acne pits smoothing out, crepe texture less, my skin is getting thicker. It is very slow, but hey in a year, if I didn't do something my skin would look a year older. This way, it is getting better. Good luck to you! BTW 1mm is a good safe length, follow directions. It shouldn't hurt, shouldn't bleed. It feels prickly. If it hurts or bleeds, you are pressing too hard. If your skin doesn't get red, you aren't pressing hard enough. Be careful around your eyes. I test to see if I am indeed breaking the skin by dabbing a little alcohol on a spot. If it stings you are doing it right. Do at night so redness will be gone by the time you get up. Also the little micro holes you are making are perfect for putting on collagen inducing products like vitamin C and something with retinol. I only use 2 products, and they make a huge difference. Your skin will soak up the C fast, straight to the dermis, which is where collagen is produced. Collagen means tightening. After 15 months of rolling you'll have a whole new network of collagen under your face!!! and we know what that's gonna do lol!! tighten up all those sags & lines!!! :)))) Don't roll over fever blisters (you'll spread them) and don't roll over moles, etc.

I bought the product direct from the suppliers and used it straight away. From comments received, the only possibility could be that the product does not agree with some of the household products I use (which may contain chemicals). Years ago I bought a similar product before going on a cruise thinking that my nails would have a great chance to grow, that product also stripped my nails and I was told that it was formaldehyde that caused this. Thanks again.... my nails have improved recently by protecting them with Gel nails .

Hi, I just anted to get back to you again...I used the product 6 times haven't noticed a difference...and my face was very red (which is fine lasted about an hour or more) Just be careful you don't rub the wrong way .watch youtube if you haven't already..If you do it right it can hurt!! and don't goo by sensitive thin skin like eyes etc.. Hope I helped . 0.5 next highest is a 1.0 I think, but you can use higher then that on stomach (if ur using for stretch marks or scars) GL!!!

Best if applied soon after bite, but it works a day or two later if you still itch. What I do is scratch and barely break the skin and then apply. It woks better that way.

Thank you...was having a mini meltdown. Sadly I didn't think I'd have this reaction and didn't plan for this appearance. I did a 30% glycolic peel a few weeks ago and there was no one minute of downtime. It just made me glow. Do you think it's better to let it get very dry so it will maybe peel faster or reapply my moisturizer to keep it hydrated? I look so crazy and have to work on Rodeo Dr. tomorrow. :(

I don't know about eczema. I ordered it because it was supposed to be good to cure a staff infection. My bottle was broken so antibiotics has to be used. Should be good for skin problems but would be sticky and messy.

I've had that problem with that product and find the fuzzy residue would remain on my skin for days after switching to another spot. The only way to completely remove it was with nail polish remover (non-acetone) and then avoiding the area for fear of it reacting with the medication. I think they use that to position the patch inside the envelope so it won't slide around in the packet and keep it away from the tiny notch you fold and then tear to open the packet. It IS annoying and seems unnecessarily sticky, but the product works well and is relatively affordable. I really don't like the fuzzy squares all over that won't even scrub off.

I love this product! I'm getting ready to order my second bottle.... I use moisturizer with sunscreen over the serum since the serum isn't a moisturizer, but it also depends on your skin type, mine is on the dryer side and I need the sunscreen also. Glad to hear you like it too!

Dear David,We tried to look at the ingredient list for the product you mentioned in order to compare but did not find one. It would be simpler if you could tell us what skin issues you are trying to treat and then we will be able to advise you.Thank youAlessandra Poletti

Michael I thought the Same thing. I'm an active user of indoor tanning and after a month with this lotion I felt my results were very poor. Everyone has raved about how well this lotion works so I was disappointed when it didn't work, leaving me to believe maybe I had received an "imposter" lotion. Also I had the lotion for 18 months before using it so perhaps it has expired. I did buy another bottle in hopes it proves me wrong.

Hi Jim, I would love to help but this is a very expensive product and you need to know which one is for your skin. I don't wanna say its fine and them it's not yr skin type.One thing I can say, once you got your skin type it's a wonderful product.

I really don't know. I would follow the other suggestion and speak with your doctor. My Primary Care Physician and a Podiatrist I spoke with were both aware of this product. Your doctor, if not familiar with it, quickly can look up the ingredients and advise you.

My guess is: No. The active ingredients are strong solvents, but the only way to know for sure would be to try using it on a small, unobtrusive patch.

Hi Brenda, I just checked the box I purchased and the milligrams of each ingredient are not given, rather the percentages are given. They are Camphor 1.2%, Menthol 5.7% and Methyl Salicylate 6.3%. The other ingredients are listed as inactive and no percentages given. The patches I have are manufactured by Hisamitsu Pharmaceutical Co, Inc., Japan. Sorry I can give you more information.Dan

I would not advise it. After just one use, I threw these patches away. The residue it leaves behind on your skin, after removal (which is not fun!) is awful.
